Hunting Forum

holly, if his ancestors didn't come from another country, then they would be Native Indian........which from several studies indicate they actually migrated across the Bering Land Bridge from either China or what is now Russia.

Now RT, that may not be true. Science has proven, they think, that the Clovis people, who they believe were here before the Aliuts, migrated from Europe, across the Atlanitic, dureing the ice age----Durn, another earthquake just hit us!! That makes my hinney pucker! Any how, science believes the Clovis people, hunting seals, followed the ice across the Atlantic!

And we were here as natives before the invaders .I was just wondering if YH was .Never got a strait answer .We did find out his mother had some sense and got out .

Holly-
You asked:
"I would like to know .Are you a native of Canada ,or a French invader . "
I answered that I was born and raised here. I'm not just sure what it is you can't comprehend about that answer. If you wanted to know what my ancestry was, you should have asked. I'm of Scottish decent.
It does bring up one question, though- when did the French invade us? I must have missed that in history class...

I guess if one were a member of the Native People Tribes, the French settlers and explorers, along with the English, were in a way, invaders; much as the Vikings, the Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, English and French were in all of North and South America!

Cajuns (pron.: /ˈkeɪdʒən/; French: les Cadiens or les Acadiens, [le kadjɛ̃, lez‿akadjɛ̃]) are an ethnic group mainly living in the U.S. state of Louisiana, consisting of the descendants of Acadian exiles (French-speakers from Acadia in what are now the Canadian Maritimes). Today, the Cajuns make up a significant portion of south Louisiana's population, and have exerted an enormous impact on the state's culture.[1]

While Lower Louisiana had been settled by French colonists since the late 18th century, the Cajuns trace their roots to the influx of Acadian settlers after the Great Expulsion from their homeland during the French and Indian War (1754 to 1763). The Acadia region to which modern Cajuns trace their origin consisted largely of what are now New Brunswick and the other Maritime provinces, plus parts of eastern Quebec and northern Maine. Since their establishment in Louisiana the Cajuns have developed their own dialect, Cajun French, and developed a vibrant culture including folkways, music, and cuisine.
 
Canada, New France

Canada, New France, was the historic homeland of the French Canadian people, the St. Lawrence River valley, in the time of New France. It corresponds to the southern part of modern Quebec excluding the Eastern Townships. Later, it was renamed the Province of Quebec (1763), Lower Canada(1791), Canada East (1840), and finally the Province of Quebec (1867) again.

French is the mother tongue of about seven million Canadians (22.3% of the Canadian population, second to English at 58.4%).^[1] Most native French speakers in Canada live in Quebec, where French is the majority and sole official language. About 80% of Quebec's population are native francophones, and 95% of the population speak French as their first or second language. Additionally, about one million native francophones live in other provinces, forming a sizable minority in New Brunswick, which is officially a bilingual province, where about one third of the population are francophone. There are also fairly large French-speaking communities in Manitoba and Ontario, where francophones make up about five percent of the population, as well as significantly smaller communities in Alberta, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan. Many, but not all of these communities are supported by French-language institutions

By the Official Languages Act in 1969, Canada recognized English and French as having equal status in the government of Canada. While French, with no specification as to dialect or variety, has the status of one of Canada's two official languages at the federal government level, English is the native language of the majority of Canadians. The federal government provides services and operates in both languages. French is the sole official languagein Quebec at the provincial level and is co-official with English in New Brunswick. The provincial governments of Ontario, New Brunswick, and Manitoba are required to provide services in French where justified by the number of francophones (those whose mother tongue is French). However, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms requires all provinces to provide primary and secondary education to their official-language minorities at public expense. The French used in Canada is regulated by the Office Québécois de la Langue Française (OQLF), previously known as the Office de la langue française (OLF).

Well you commented about my being Indian as I would still be living in tee pees if it was not for the invaders .So I was just wondering about whether you were native to Canada .I see you are not .

In my overtly stupid reasoning, An invasion can be defined in more ways than open armed conflict. But it would be where one culture has a large or great influence on another. Lower Canada Quebec, and Canada as a whole is a bilingual country, French being one of those languages.
Now perhaps I should allow my betters, those more adapt at debating such intellectually superior individuals as your self, teach me more about that. No wait that would not be right, as you have stated that would be ganging up on you. Even though you have come to a forum where you know the Majority of the people do not share your opinions.
However I may have misunderstood that because, You are a man who believes in Majority rule and the Majority is always right. Or is that only when the Minority feel they are intellectually superior to the Majority.
We all live on the North American Continent, so US citizens Canadians and Mexicans are all Americans. But American has become a Generic term for US citizen. You as a Canadian have said that the American Constitution is out dated, and should be updated. And It is no longer respected and is loosening influence around the World. Now I would submit it might need a little up dating as it has been on a number of occasions, being the original only had 10 Amendments. You speak of women’s rights. I believe that was addressed in the 19th Amendment. Other Amendments address rights as well, the 13th, 14th and 15th
I also submit it may not be our Constitution that is not respected, or has lost its influence it had on the world. But perhaps the, at sometimes corrupt American influence around the World that is no longer respected. You say Americans meddle in other counties affairs where we have no business. Yet as Canadian you have no problem coming to an American Forum where you know your opinions are not shard with the Majority, and call us overtly, or rampantly stupid, and ignorant. Then become defensive and insulting when the Majority questions you.
You launch person attacks on the Intelligence Honor and Integrity, of any one who opposes or challenges you. If/ when questioned about your intentions, you attempt to turn that around/into or show where that is a personal attack on you. And I will admit there is a fine line between a person attack and the questioning of ones intentions, but there is a difference. And both are relevant in a debate, used to prove or discredit the person or opinion. Time and observations, can help to determine which it is, and for what reasons, the intent.
The intent maybe to distract from the facts, partial or other wise, and/or by casting the person, not the facts themselves in a bad light, there by avoiding the facts. Or to question the intent of the person who maybe avoiding, omitting or distorting the facts for reason(s) known or unknown. I try to remain respectful of ones person while trying to determine their intent, my candor can at times be misunderstood, but I try to never be malicious in my intent.
So again I will ask you, who has admitted to being a Socialist. Why in my opinion as well as others I believe, and who are in the majority of this forum, are you maligning, attempting to discredit, cast doubt and dispersions on our Constitution. With what would seem to be an attempt to cause its change, or abolishment of our inalienable rights it protects.
We are a country of immigrates, and Our Constitution has protected the rights, and culture of many who have immigrated here, it is not perfect, and does require some assimilation into the American culture, which is and of its self a multicultural, culture. There are those who come here now, who do not wish to become a part of that, but want our culture to change into what they wish, even though they are the minority. What is your intent by saying on one hand the Majority should rule, and on the other saying we should change our culture, and beliefs for the minority. Change our Constitution because they, you or other countries in the world do not like it.
